CRE PTO Fundraiser-“Spell Yourself Around the World”
Just a reminder that students need to turn in their pledge sheets. PTO is trying to make plans to purchase prizes. Students should be completed with all tests and all pledges should be collected by February 22nd. All students receiving 100% on all spelling tests will be recognized at the end of the fundraiser, regardless of pledge amounts. Those students collecting pledges will find a list of prizes with collection amounts on the back of the spell-a-thon rule sheet. Good luck to all CRE students and keep studying your spelling words to help our school make the trip around the world. Our travel record is being kept in the hallway by the office.
CRE PTO Carnival
Interested parents are encouraged to attend the CRE PTO Carnival meeting on Monday, February 6, 2012 at 6PM in the CRE Library. The CRE PTO encourages all parents to become involved and help in some way. The PTO Carnival is planned for Saturday, May 5, 2012. This is a great CRE tradition and is always fun for the entire family.
Did you hear the news? CRE Principal’s Newsletter will be emailed to parents!
In an effort to save paper and copying costs, Mrs. Smart’s newsletter will be sent via email to parents that have given email addresses to their child’s teacher or to the office. Please make sure we have your updated email address. Currently, the newsletter is on our district webpage for your convenience, http://www.crestridge.org. Look for the March newsletters to be emailed to parents that have email accounts. Copies of the newsletter will be sent home with students to those parents that do not have computer access.
Three and Four-year-old Screenings
Our three and four-year-old screenings are scheduled for February 27 and February 28 from 4-7PM and February 29 from 8-10 AM. All screenings will be held at Crest Ridge Elementary. Please help us pass along screening information to any parent of a three and four-year old living within our Crest Ridge School District.
Family Reading Night
Make plans to attend our CRE Family Reading Night on February 21, 2012 from 6-7:30 PM.
CRE Group Pictures
Classroom group pictures will be taken on Wednesday, February 8, 2012. Packets are being sent with this letter. Students need to turn in these packets to their teacher.
CRE Honor Roll
The Crest Ridge 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade Honor Roll students are collecting Box Tops, Coke Reward Codes (found on Coke product caps and inside Coke product boxes) and Campbell's Soup Labels. The Elementary Honor Roll is also having classroom competitions to see which class can raise the most money for our service project, Pennies for the Planet. This money will go towards preserving our Barrier Islands, protecting The Arctic Ocean and restoring the Sabal Palm Forest. Thanks to CRE Honor Roll Club for purchasing a microwave for student use in our cafeteria.
CRE Yearbook
It is that time of year and we are working on the CRE Yearbook. The yearbook club would like to include pictures of our students in activities like scouts, football, and other events. Parents can email photos to Mrs. Kelli Meyrand at kmeyrand@crs.k12.mo.us. Our CRE PTO purchases yearbooks for every CRE student. The yearbook offers personalized memory pages. You can create a lasting personalized memory for your children. Parents can purchase personal ads for their child. You can design the page and include a picture with a personal message to your child. Personal ad prices are: ¼ page-$20, 1/2 page-$40, full page-$75.
Dental Screenings
Dr. Finnane, DDS, will be at our school on January 27, 2012 to perform dental screenings for students in 1st – 4th grades. She will only be here for part of the day, so we will have her screen as many students as possible during that time. If your child received the Fluoride Varnish permission slip, please complete the form and return it to school. As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to call Ms. Rhoads at 660-656-3315, ext. 111.
